Mac Jones:

“I think long snapping, to me, changed in the mid-80s, and really the key guy in that was [Steve] DeOssie, in my opinion…”

The Patriots named their 2023 captains on Friday, with one notable player joining the group heading into this season.

Thursday night’s stunning finish out in Kansas City should reshape the thinking of fans in New England who have any doubt about Sunday’s game. If the Lions can knock off Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, the Patriots should certainly be able to do the same with Philadelphia.

Hurts is dangerous running or passing. Bill Belichick said as much this week when he called Hurts “arguably the best player in the league.”  

The New England Patriots caught a massive break on Tuesday, with news emerging that the legal situation looming over Jack Jones has apparently come to a close.

The New England Patriots will go as far as Mac Jones can take them in 2023, and for that to happen, the former Alabama quarterback needs to take a significant step forward from how he played last season.

Heading into the 2023 regular season, the New England Patriots certainly have questions along their offensive line, with one key one being whether or not the club can be as effective running the football this season compared to 2021.

“It’s a very competitive league. There’s a lot of very talented players, and they compete, and not everybody can have a spot. Its difficult”

While the hope was probably that he’d end up back in New England to try and finish what he started, it’s likely a little tough for Bailey Zappe not to be sitting there wondering, “what if?” as he looks back on what he’s accomplished heading into his second season in the NFL.

The New England Patriots needed to cut down to 53 players on Tuesday, which left the club with some difficult decisions as they did their best to try and solidify areas of need at the expense of a couple of key names.

I know tackles are needed because of injury/illness, but I wasn’t a fan of trading Pierre Strong after just one season.

Mapu’s speed, athleticism, and physicality were evident. He did a nice job of covering the tight end in the end zone, forcing an incompletion

Some New England Patriots news and notes for Tuesday August 22, 2023.

Patriots quarterback Mac Jones appeared on Jones and Mego with Arcand on Monday at Gillette Stadium, with the signal-caller taking part in the first of likely many awkward exchanges heading into the 2023 football season.

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick spoke to the media on Monday, and one of the things he talked about coming off of Saturday night’s game in Green Bay is the growth he’s seen from his team over the past few weeks.
